Kinmen County magistracy edit

In March 1996, during the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis, Chen suggested evacuating residents from Wuqiu, Kinmen.[2]

Chen and 180 delegates visited Xiamen in Fujian Province in December 2010 for a four-day visit to inaugurate the historic direct ferry links from Taiwan to Mainland China. He said that new limited direct links between the two sides could expand into full trade, transportation and postal ties under mini Three Links before end of 2010. Chen met with Xiamen Mayor Zhu Yayan.[3]
